Investing in Dubai Real Estate

Investing in Dubai Real Estate

This is my simple equation for a path to riches:

Investing in Real Estate = Riches

The reasons for this are simple. When you buy a house, you can rent it out for a nice monthly income. And when you decide you no longer want the house, you can sell it for a higher price than what you bought it for, which results in a nice profit.

So investing in real estate = monthly income + selling price – buying price

Not only is investing in real estate financially sound, but it is also relatively stress free compared to investing in stock markets, which would consume more of your attention and time.

The most enjoyable part of investing in real estate is when you go looking for houses. Like this one?

Dubai is a good location to invest in and there’s a good article in the Real Estate Forum that lists the reasons why you should invest in Dubai. Some of the reasons are the low crime rates, high international standards for business, tourism and lifestyle, freedom of living, no income taxes, and no restrictions on capital repatriation. Of course there’s always a risk factor when purchasing a house. Earthquakes and fires for instance happen on a daily basis. So we can further expand our equation like this:

investing in real estate = (monthly income + selling price – buying price) * (r)

where r = the risk factor = 0 for disasters and 1 for no disasters

But natural disasters rarely damage houses, so your chances of making a profit are still very high compared to your chances of losing everything. So it’s no wonder that Donald Trump loves Real Estate, as do all other rich men and women do.

  1. Interested in investing in dubai real estate, how do i go about it

  2. You can start looking at real estate websites to check how much houses in Dubai cost. Then you can search google for particular areas in Dubai, and how much house rentals have increased over the years in these particular areas. You want to buy a house that will increase in value, so this is important.

    The houses in Palm Jumeirah for instance have been bought and sold for a profit many times before the construction was even complete!

  3. Are you re-evaluating your value for “r” now?
